These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Challengers pit their wits against possibly the greatest | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads are the Cabbies. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
These Challengers met through volunteering for the | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Citizens Advice Bureau in South Lakeland. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
-Let's meet them. -Hi, I'm Sue, I'm a retired National Park ranger. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Hi, I'm Steve, I'm a Citizens Advice volunteer. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi, I'm Christina, I'm also a Citizens Advice volunteer. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm a local government | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
planning and housing manager. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Hello, I'm Gareth and I'm a Citizens Advice volunteer. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
So, Sue and team, welcome. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Great to see you. So you've come from Citizens Advice Bureau, Sue? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
-That's right, yes. -And Cabbies - | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
C-A-B is how we know the Citizens Advice Bureau across the country? | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-That's right, yes. -But they're being rebranded, I gather? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
We're dropping the bureau, so we'll just be Citizens Advice in future, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
-yes. -OK. But it's great job you do, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
because a lot of people are really in need of just basic advice on debt | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
and all kinds of things? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Absolutely, yeah. It's actually a lifeline for a lot of people. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
We provide a lot of advice for all sorts of things. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Employment and debt, benefits, housing and a range of other issues. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
Wonderful. And do you find you need a lot of knowledge, general knowledge, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
to do that? You can see where I'm heading here. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Not the same knowledge we need here. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So someone won't come in and ask a history question, for example? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Possibly not. No! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
But I notice also that you're part of the first all-female team to | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-climb Mount Kenya? -That's right, I was. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Tell me about that. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Well, it was just two of us. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Two women, about 30 years ago now, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
we climbed Mount Kenya. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
We didn't know at the time, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
but we were told afterwards we were the first female team. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
So it was quite an undertaking at the time. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Maybe you'll be the first Citizens Advice Bureau team to beat the | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Eggheads? That would be a wonderful thing. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
I'm sure we will! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
Good. Good luck to you. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
So, Cabbies, if the Eggheads are looking a little bit forlorn today, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
it's because the Challengers won the last game. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
They took them apart in the last round. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
And at least it proves it can be done. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
So there's £1,000 to win today. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-Would you like to try? -Yes. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
-Certainly would. -I think so! | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Glad you said yes. Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Funnily enough. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
You can have either Beth, Chris, Pat, Barry or Lisa. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-Should I take that? -You want to take that? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
OK. Hope that politics doesn't come up. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
OK, Gareth, on the end. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Gareth against which Egghead, that's the question? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
I'll go for Chris. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
OK, Gareth, from the Cabbies, versus Chris, from the Eggheads. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
OK, good luck. Gareth, you're against Chris on History, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Here we go. In Roman society, what was a stylus? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
A writing implement | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Straight there. You're right, it's a writing implement. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
We weren't trying to trick you there, don't worry. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
OK, Chris, your question. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use of the word workhouse, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
to mean a public institution where the able-bodied poor worked in | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
return for food and lodging, back to which century? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
15th, there was no real system of poor relief at all. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
In the 17th, there were alms-houses, so it's the 19th. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Workhouses, actually, were around in the 17th century, Chris. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-Oh. -You've faltered. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Gareth, there's a chance here. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Which of these battles took place during the Crimean War? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
Inkerman. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Inkerman is correct. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Right. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Chris, your question, to see if you can get on the scoresheet. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
In Viking culture, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
what name was given to an open-air meeting in which points of law | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
were discussed? | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Well, the oldest parliament in the world is the Althing in Iceland, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
so it's a thing. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
It is a thing, actually. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
I didn't know that's where thing came from. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
From a Viking open-air meeting. Back to you, Gareth. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
If you get this right, you've taken the round, Gareth. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
In quite a succinct manner. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
What was it the name of the conscientious objector who won the | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Congressional Medal of Honour for saving the lives of over 70 of his | 0:05:11 | 0:05:17 | |
comrades during World War II? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
I think it's Audie Murphy. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
I'm just trying to think about how you get to this answer. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Audie Murphy is wrong. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-Any Eggheads know? -I think it must be Desmond Doss. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
Desmond Doss is the right answer there, Gareth. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
So we go to Chris, who has chance now to get back into this. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
Which historical figure conquered Cuba for the Spanish and went on to | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
become its first colonial governor? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Well, Christopher Columbus | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
didn't become anybody's colonial governor. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Balboa was... | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
down in Panama, so it's Diego Velazquez de Cuellar. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
It is indeed Diego Velazquez de Cuellar. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Chris, well done, you made short work of that. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
And you're level after three questions. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
So, Gareth, it gets a little bit harder, we go to Sudden Death, OK? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
And I don't give you options. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
It is often said that in the 13th century, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Pope Gregory IX caused which animals to be persecuted due to | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
their supposed links to Satanic rituals? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Was it cats? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Brilliant, it was cats. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
Chris, to stay in. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Which historical figure had a mother named Gytha, a father named Godwin, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
and a brother named Tostig? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
That is Harold I. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
You are one Harold out, my friend. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-Harold Two. -Harold Two, not Harold One. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
Harold Godwinson, or Harold II, is the answer, Chris, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
you've been knocked out. Well done, Challengers. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Gareth, you're through on History, and you will be in today's final. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Chris, you will not be. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Please come back and please rejoin your teams. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Shall we have a little Desmond Doss moment? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
There is a movie, or there was one 2016, called Hacksaw Ridge. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
-Yep. -And it's about this guy. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
So, yes, he was a conscientious objector, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
but Mr Doss then worked as a medic in World War II, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
and in a battle saved a lot of soldiers' lives. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
As it stands, the Cabbies have not lost any brains from the final round. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
They have swung at the Eggheads and clobbered out Chris. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
So the Eggheads have lost one. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
The next subject is Sport. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
So, Sue and team, who wants this? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-That's you, Steve. -That's me. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Steve, OK. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Against anyone but Chris. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Who do you think I should take on? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-Lisa? -Barry? Barry, perhaps? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
-OK. -Let's go for Barry. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Yeah. Can I take on Barry, please? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:57 | |
You certainly can. Steve from the Cabbies - | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
see if we can get a taxi for Barry? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
Steve, you're a cyclist, I gather? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-I am indeed, yes. -On the roads, or for fun on mountains? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Mainly road bikes. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
I do a little bit of mountain bike, but these days, more road bikes. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
And are you safe out there? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Fairly safe, yeah. I've got my helmet on. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
I think people overestimate the dangers of cycling. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
I think, if you cycle assertively and carefully, then I think you're safe. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
Yes, good, good advice. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
So would you like to go first second on Sport? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
And here is your question. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
What was the highest world singles ranking the tennis player Tim Henman | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
achieved in his career? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
That's difficult. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Obviously, he never won a major tournament. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
But did he ever get up to as much as four? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
It's either four or 14, I think. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
I think he might have made it up to number four, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
so I'll go for number four. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
Four is correct, well done. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
And he didn't win Wimbledon, did he win anything else, Eggheads? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-No grand slams. -No. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
OK, Barry, your question. The Welshman, Jonathan Davies, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
born in 1962, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
typically played rugby union in which position? | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Oh, goodness. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
I don't think he was a second row. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
I seem to remember he was quite a speedy player, so on that basis, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
I'll go for fly-half. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
Fly-half is the right answer. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Suddenly wondered if we were in for a little batting collapse here, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Eggheads, with Barry's hesitation. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
I think sometimes when you've lost a game, the virus spreads. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
OK, back to you, Steve. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
David Gower made his first-class debut for which county cricket team | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
in 1975? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
He certainly played most of his | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
cricket, I think, with Leicestershire. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
But did he actually debut with them? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Yeah, I'll say Leicestershire. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
Yes, Leicestershire's right. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Well done. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
Barry, in which year did Desert Orchid win the Cheltenham Gold Cup? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
Ah, I was hoping there would only be one year in the '80s there. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
I remember Desert Orchid, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
he was the most beautiful grey horse I've ever seen. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
But what year was it? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
I'm going to go straight in the middle for 1985. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
1985. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-Any Eggheads know? -Got to be 1989, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
because that's the only one I would have remembered seeing, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
or been old enough to really watch on telly. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Why is Desert Orchid so special? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
It's not often that greys win very prestigious races. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
Right, I see. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
1989, Barry. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
Ooh, I would never have gone for that one. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
So, you have a chance now, Steve, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
get this right, you're in the final, too. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
The former Swansea, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
Wigan and Everton manager Roberto Martinez became the head coach of | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
which international team in 2016? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Oh, I really don't know this one. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
So I'm going to have to make a guess at it. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
I'm just wondering whether it's... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
I'll go for Belgium. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
-Team-mates, do you know? -Belgium. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Yeah, I tell you what, your team-mates love this, | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Belgium is right, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
well done. Three in a row. Sorry, Barry, knocked out. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
That one, the Desert Orchid, has run you off the track there. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
So, Barry will not be in the final, Steve, you will. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
That's two of our Challengers who are in the final already. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Please come back and we'll see what happens next. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
The Cabbies are playing well here. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
They've not lost any brains from the final round. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
Well done, Sue. Tactician, it's working. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
I don't know what it is, but it's working. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
The Eggheads have had two knocked out. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
The next subject for you is Film & TV. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-Who would like this? -I think... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
This was my subject, wasn't it? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
It's definitely your subject. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
So, who are we going for? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Christina, you can have Pat or Beth or Lisa. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
Shall we try Pat? We'll take Pat, please. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
Very good. OK. Christina from the Cabbies against Pat from the Eggheads | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
on Film & TV. Pat fighting back for his team now. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Please go to our famous Question Room. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
OK, Film & TV, Christina, against the great Pat. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
Could I go first, please? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Here we go, with your first question. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
In which year was the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous first shown? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
Ooh. I think '82 was perhaps too soon. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:55 | |
I think I'll go with 1992. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
1992 is right. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
Well done. Would be easy to go wrong there. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Pat, your question. In which Disney film does an evil queen say, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I don't think there is an evil queen in Pinocchio. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
There is one in Sleeping Beauty, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
but I think the one that talks to her mirror is in | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is the right answer from Pat. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
Back to you, Christina. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Which of these is a famous lines is from the sitcom Steptoe And Son? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
Oh, that's "You dirty old man". | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
It is "You dirty old man", | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
you're right. The other ones... "cunning plan" is...? | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Christina? -That's... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Oh. Glad I didn't have to think of this one, because my mind's... | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
I think that's Blackadder. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
That's Blackadder, yes. And "I don't believe it"? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Oh, it's Victor Meldrew, isn't it? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
Yes. Yeah. One Foot In The Grave. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
That's right, that's right. Got it. OK. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Back to you, Pat. Who played the role of a CIA analyst, Maya, in the | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
Oscar-winning film, Zero Dark Thirty? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
I don't think I've seen this film. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
Zero Dark Thirty. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
But who played the CIA person? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Zero Dark Thirty. I think that's... | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Is that Kathryn Bigelow? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
She may have directed it. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
I'm going to be... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
It's going to be a fairly dangerous stab in the dark here. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Cos I can imagine... Well, Claire Danes, obviously, | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
played the lead in Homeland for years. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
Where she is linked with the intelligence services. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
Emily Blunt has certainly appeared in quite a few US films. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
But of the three, with some concern, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
I'm going to go for Jessica Chastain. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Yeah, you're right about Claire Danes and Homeland, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and you're right as well about Kathryn Bigelow directing. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
It was about the raid on the Bin Laden complex in Pakistan. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Jessica Chastain is the right answer. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
Well done. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
He doesn't get much wrong, Christina, does he? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-No! -Pat in particular, he's very, very good. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
OK, your third question. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Get this right, see if you can go where the others went and knock him out. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
In which TV series did Jack Davenport play the role of a lawyer | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
named Miles Stewart? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
Erm... I think I remember him | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
in This Life. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
So that will be my answer. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:50 | |
You're bang on, well done. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
This Life, three out of three. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Pat, under pressure, maybe? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
Who plays the role of Lol in Shane Meadows' This Is England film, | 0:15:56 | 0:16:03 | |
and subsequent TV series? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Dear me. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
There's a lot of films I haven't watched. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
I should have watched this, it's quite celebrated, but no, I haven't. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
I've a very faint voice in my head saying Chanel Cresswell, | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
for no reason. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
I could easily be wrong. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Samantha Morton does appear in quite a few edgy films. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
I'm going to have to go Chanel Cresswell. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
OK. I haven't seen this either, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
but I know the answer through a strange way, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
which is that I watched a programme called Line Of Duty, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
which is a fantastic police drama. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
And there's an actress in that who was amazing. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
And I then looked back at her | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
previous career and it included this. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
And the actress was Vicky McClure. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-Oh. -So, Vicky McClure, who was in Line Of Duty and was brilliant, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
is also the answer to this question. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Oh, dear, oh, dear! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
Well done, Challengers. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
You are now three of you, at least - well, four - in the final, at least. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
Maybe all five of you. Pat, another one goes. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
It is... What is it when this batting collapse happens? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
You lose one game and then you're all confused and you lose another. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
My goodness me, this is exciting, isn't it? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Well done, Christina, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
please return to us and we'll play the last round before the final. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Well, Sue, I don't know what you're doing with the strategy, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
there's something in the battle plan. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
All the tanks on the table, moving them around with those little poles, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
but it's working. Anyway, just don't give away the secrets. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
The Cabbies have not lost any brains so far from the final round. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
The Eggheads have lost three! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
Let's see if we can get one more out. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
The next subject is Geography. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Who would like this? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
That's going to be me. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:52 | |
OK, team skipper, Sue. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
Against which Egghead? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
We've only got, let's see, Beth and Lisa left. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
-Lisa. -Lisa? -We'll try Lisa. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-Lisa? -Yeah, go for Lisa, please. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
Sue, from the Cabbies, versus Lisa from the Eggheads. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
please take your positions in our Question Room. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
I know there's a bit of pressure here, Sue, now. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-There certainly is. -Your team-mates have played well, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
but if you can get into the final, that would be amazing, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
because it will be five on one in the final, which we hardly ever see. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
And of course, we've had our moments on Geography, haven't we, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-Lisa, back in the day? -I was going to say, | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
who do you think the pressure's on here?! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Well, look, some questions on Australia have always foxed Lisa, Sue. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
Good luck, would you like to go first or second? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
Good luck. Approximately 70% of the land area of Finland is | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
covered with what? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
Well, I lived in Finland for a while. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
So I know it's not desert. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
However, there are a lot of lakes in Finland, | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
and there is a lot of woodland. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
So that's difficult. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
I think I'll go for lakes. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
It's a rare moment for your team when you've gone astray on a | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
50/50 choice. It's woodland. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
Oh! | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
70% of Finland is covered in woods. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
Lisa, Lyme Bay in southern England | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
is part of which larger body of water? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Is Lyme, L-Y-M-E, Jeremy? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-Yes, it is. -OK. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
So, Lyme Bay... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Lyme Regis, that kind of area? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
So you're talking the south coast of England. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
Which would make it... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
Unless I've got me Bristol and me English Channel mixed up, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
the English Channel. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
Yes, it is the English Channel. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
OK, Sue, back to you. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Which of these is an area of West London? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
I know nothing about London. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
I'll go down the middle and go for Hackney. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
-Challengers? -Hounslow, I would... | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-It's Hounslow. -Oh! | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
I only know that cos I live there. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Ah. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
But they all... It's funny, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
those London boroughs are a little bit amorphous. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
You know, the names are all a bit similar. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
OK, Lisa, if you get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Which city is located near to the confluence of the Ottawa | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
and St Lawrence Rivers? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
OK. I... | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
..think... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:49 | |
..I can safely rule out New York. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Erm... | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
Not a huge, big, load wiser on the other two. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
Confluence is where they meet, isn't it? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Now, Montreal, certainly, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
there's quite a lot of water around it. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Because the Montreal Grand Prix in Formula 1 is held on an island. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:25 | |
And you've actually got to walk | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
across the water to get to it. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
I feel really bad, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
because I can almost feel the heat | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
from the steam coming out of Barry's ears. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
This would be straightforward for anyone who wasn't me. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
I don't know. I think it might be Montreal, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
but that's about the best I can do. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
You did that so diffidently. Now, Barry's ears are steaming, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
but are they steaming in the right direction, Barry? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
They're steaming with relief now! | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Apparently the type of steam that's coming out of Barry's ears is shaped | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
like relief, because you've got it right. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
Montreal is the right answer. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Lisa, you're in the final round. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Maybe you've somehow staunched the flow on the Eggheads' side. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Sorry, Sue, you've been knocked out. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
I thought that would happen. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
But don't worry, you've masterminded the victory so far. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Let's see if your team can actually turn it into a win against the | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
Eggheads. Come back to us, please, and we'll play the final. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
So, this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
It is time for our final which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't been | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
able to take part in this round. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
So it's Sue from the Cabbies, but also Barry, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Pat and Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Would you please now leave the studio. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Well, we don't often have this situation, do we? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
We've got four Challengers against two Eggheads here. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
We've got Steve, Christina, | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Dan and Gareth now playing to win the Cabbies £1,000. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
Lisa and Beth, you're playing to somehow stop what we know can happen, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
which is a run of defeats. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn, | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
this time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
You can confer. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
So, Cabbies, the question is, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
are your four brains able to defeat these two? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
We'll go first, Jeremy. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
OK, Dan and Cabbies, good luck. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
In American cuisine, what is a po' boy? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
-I think it's a sandwich. -I'm pretty sure it's a sandwich. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
Doesn't sound like the other things. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
I'm not sure, but I'm happy to go along with that. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
I think somewhere in the past I've heard that. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
-OK. -Let's go with sandwich. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
We think it's a sandwich. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
Yeah, it would be possible to go wrong on this. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Po' boy, do you Eggheads know? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. It's a delicacy of Louisiana, I think. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Right. Sandwich is right, well done. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Sue is cheering you on - back there. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
First question for the Eggheads. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
In George Orwell's 1984, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
what is the name of the inner Party member who interviews Winston Smith? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
Right. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Let's think about this. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Do you think they're all in 1984? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
-I don't know. -No, me neither. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
Cos I'm not getting any bells from anything else. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
Which is bad. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
So there's nothing we can eliminate immediately? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
-No. -OK. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:30 | |
I don't know if they're all 1984. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
I don't even know if they're all Orwell. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
That's tricky. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
I'm wondering whether Fosco doesn't sound very Orwellian? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Hmm. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
-The other two are a bit closer, maybe. -Yeah. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
At least this is a book I have read. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
Mmm-hmm. Yeah, so have I, it's just that long ago. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
My focus on detail is not all that great. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
-What would be...? -If I were going to pick one, on me own? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
I'd probably go Quilty. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
That would be my choice as well. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
Hmm. Shall we just go on instincts and wade in, then? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
Is there any more logic to apply to this? | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
-No. None at all. -Let's go. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:14 | |
OK. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
Quilty. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Quilty is your answer. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
OK. Do you know the answer? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
-What is it? -We think it's O'Brien. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
-It's O'Brien. -Fair enough. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
O'Brien is the correct answer. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
Oh, Eggheads. So, just don't, whatever happens, lose focus here. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
Because they can turn. Here's your question. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Paul-Henri Spaak served three times as Prime Minister of which country? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:46 | |
And Spaak is S-P-A-A-K. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Pretty sure we can rule out Norway. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
The question is, does the Henri | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
lead you towards Belgium? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -It does to me. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
-Yes, I would say. -It does to me as well. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
The last bit doesn't sound particularly Dutch, does it? | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
But he would be more sort of... | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
-I think... -Yeah, we'll go with Belgium. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
-Yeah. -We'll try Belgium. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:17 | |
And Belgium is correct. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
ALL EXHALE | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
OK. This is good. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:22 | |
You've got two, they've got none. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
You need to get this right to keep the contest alive. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
Get it wrong, they win. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
In which year did the explorer Lawrence Oates die? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
I didn't think they went out there until the '20s. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Yeah, me too. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
Yeah. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
'17's during the war. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Basically, it's got a two in it. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
-Helpful. -No! | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
'12, '22, won't be '17, because that's during the war, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
-and they would have been... -Yeah. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:04 | |
I think it's... | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
I always associate it with being the '20s. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
-Yeah. -So... | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
Can I make a case for 1912? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Tricky, tricky. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
I don't know, my first thought was that it's a date in the '20s, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
so we're probably lucky there's only one. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
That was my first thought as well. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
We did this with Quilty. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Yeah. But you know, when you've nothing else to go on, | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
-that's what you go on. -Shall we go? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
Yeah. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
At least the misery will be quick. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
It will be, yeah! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:37 | |
We're hoping the misery's not going to be that quick, but | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
we both thought that it... | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
well, Lisa thinks it had a two in it, that eliminates the '17. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
But we both thought it was in the '20s, so 1922. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
Eggheads at the back, do you know the answer here? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
-BOTH: -1912. -It was a toss-up. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
Eggheads, the answer is 1912, you've got it wrong, | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
we say congratulations, Challengers, you have won! | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
Goodness. You just simply cut them to ribbons there. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Congratulations, that was quite a contest. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
You overwhelmed them bit by bit, and you were methodical, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
and we can't even say it was luck or anything. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
You were just better. You've won £1,000, | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
I hope you enjoyed that? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
-Yeah, thank you. -I bet you knew the last one as well, did you? | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
-We did, yes. -I did. -OK, I'd better not rub it in. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Join us next time on Eggheads, to see if a new team of Challengers | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
will be just a successful. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
Well done, winners. Till we play again, goodbye. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 |
